Curious why truck manufacturers are not adding small shower/toilet options for these bigger sleepers. Copycat Freightliners in China/Asia are being built with shower/toilet as well as some other companies. It doesn’t seem like manufacturers have bothered to make any REAL advancements in sleeper layout/design in decades. Everything is exactly where it’s been in the sleepers for years. It’s time for shower/toilet options to be configured into standard 70”-80” sleepers. There is clearly the room. If China can figure it out so can we. As for the additional weight, yeah bullshit. Driver comfort/retention/personal safety all outweigh the additional weight (350-500 lbs). Sleepers are huge, tall and integrated into the cab/chassis, this should be a no brainer. Great walk around!! Thanks👍🏻👍🏻
Thought they would of moved on that some time back. Seemed to b the next logical step of improvement 🤔. Then agin, their looking down the way they'll probably have the self drive & push the drivers out of the profits 📈 😒
those would take up so much room, add a lot of weight. even then it would have less supplies in the truck. if you dont want supplies to be the issue, the only other option is to make the sleeper bigger and add weight again.
@@NotFunnyMe23 disagree wholeheartedly, sleeper layouts haven’t changed in years. The Murphy bed/dinette in the new Volvo is the first real innovation in decades. Even the “studio” sleeper in the KW is just a couch and that turns into a bed. SO MUCH wasted space and lost opportunities for sleeper innovations. And no, mega carriers are not going to pay for any additional amenities or added weight to a road truck, but I believe that O/O and small fleets would if those options were available. And as for the weight, it’s seriously negligible on a truck that is operated by a team or single driver that stays out extended weeks at a time. The option to have your own shower/toilet in the truck is a game changer, and if it wasn’t, companies like ARI wouldn’t exist. There is plenty of room available, it’s just being wasted due to a lack innovation. It’s time to rethink/redesign the standard 72”-80” sleeper.
Kenworth builds a damn fine truck to make money with . I was fortunate enough to get to drive a nearly new T2000 and I was never able to find something to complain about but there is one thing I can't do is the auto transmission, the Eaton super ten worked well . But I'm old school.
Wow this is cool to see because the place I work we build the walls in the truck but they call the material vinyl maybe it is leather they just call it vinyl maybe idk but it's cool to actually see the materials in the trucks we also build for Volvo also
lets talk about the cabin air filter you have to tear half the dash apart to get to. then is pancaked against the firewall so its almost impossible to get out.
You keep saying that there is plenty of storage. There’s definitely not plenty of storage in a 680. Volvo, yes… Freightliner, yes. Paccar’s aero trucks, no.
Pretty self explanatory. Gotta be a stupid automatic transmission for special people that don't know how to shift gears. Pathetic. And they all have given in to the special ones
@michaelemry9750 The majority of veteran truckers switched over to automatics. Manual transmission is old technology. Don't work harder, work smarter. If you drive a manual, I better see you using the payphone at the rest stop.
It’s a beautiful truck that is built like garbage. It is one of the worst most problem ridden trucks I’ve ever driven it got so bad that I had to give it up and get into a 2022 model which is much better built quality.
@@Jogrm575thanks for the answer! I am not a truck driver but have always loved trucks. now let me ask you this: most people say that Freightliners are the cheapest and least reliable brand, but they have Detroit engines. Who do most people say they are bad trucks then?
I can't agree more. I'm in the 2023 T680 paccar . 90,000 miles. Dash Black's out . While driving, the speedometer goes from 60 to 0 in the blink of an eye. And the truck starts to lose power. The second time it just choked out and shutdown notification transmission issue requires service. In a months time, I was in the shop in Tennessee 3days , Indianapolis 7days , and Bowlingreen Kentucky 8 days In that week time span I was towed twice. And now after about 3 weeks I'm going back in the shop. This truck is a whole hot mess. And the mechanics can't do anything until an IT specialist who works remotely emails the potential problems that only he can understand from the readout of the numerous computers on the truck. With luck they might fix it. But it took 3 shops 3 states to finally roll for 3 straight weeks. Faulty wiring isn't uncommon. Software and paccar not compatible. Transmission software suspect. The amount of plastic parts on this truck that just fall off is unbelievable. And this truck is barely 10 months old. 😂 And now another computer issue.

Why no ladder to the second bunk bed ?
Honestly if someone can't use that step they probably shouldn't be driving. It's not much different than the steps getting into the cab.

My thoughts too ... same ol sleeper design from 10 -15 yrs ago. We need shower and toilet in the trucks 😅

USA is the best country in the world. But for some reason we have the worst car/truck designers in the world.
Did kenworh fix there rattling it’s plastics fairings apart itself issue?
My company just bought me the 2024 T680 and I love it so much ;-;

Hi everyone does anyone have the actual name for the wind deflectors for the cab?
They are called cab fairings
Where is the terlet?

I beg to differ
Wrong there is plenty of storage I driven both
@@victorbernier4765 no. You are wrong.
I've had no issues with storage. I've got plenty of storage room in my 680
muy buenas como hago para comprarlo con un contaier refrigerado aqui en puerto ordaz edo bolivar venezuela
It’s 4 well drive ?
price?
Just beautiful
More room in the Freightliner fridge!!
ya but it's a POS freightliner
@@powshredder3716 same thing they say about KW
@@JaimeSanchezwrong
So many stories of these truck being complete rattle traps. Inside and out, almost everything squeaks and shakes after 3-4,000 miles
No sun visor?
Squint
Caminhão interessante, mas esse motor... não saberia dizer...
Aqui no Brasil tem igualzinho estes,e bem mais barato.
Ironic mode: ON
No ladder to get on the top bed....not good
What is the waiting time to get one of those trucks?Let me guess about 2 years from now lol Throw that paccar shit in the trash man.
@@freedomfighter9046 just ordered a new one. 8-10 weeks.
Everything is paccar like you shopping with your broke Azz 😂 you know I ain't a liar.
It clearly shows how far behind European trucks US trucks are when someone in the business thinks disc brakes are a noteworthy upgrade!
Where is the W900? ..... huh!... Come on... get your things strait
Small mattress
Australia get the tightest cabin 😂😂
If they fold outward then they are junk if those fold inward then there is a point and help.

Привет с России!
Greetings my friend!
Poor engine setting put it at 450hp 1850torque best fuel economy and power performance
Seats are uncomfortable
Doesn’t look very fat friendly! Especially the driver seats!!
Well... better get your fat a*s in the gym
Loose 200lbs then you will fit stop stuffing your face

Yep, another truck made for the special people who can't drive real trucks.

@michaelemry9750 dude this argument is getting old automatics are future and no one can stop it 🤷
Not if you are an owner operator you do not want an automatic

What issues did you have?
Thru run like shit..and no extra room.mybtruck been in shop 3 times for dash lights on . And when ya have one light in then ya dont have cruise !!

Nothing good with a PACCAR motor, it’s junk
What is the best engine?
@johndavolta3124 personally Detroit has been good to me, have run a volvo but after replacing the head it dropped a valve and destroyed everything.
